	Apophis (99942)
		Currently, Apophis has a ranking of 1 on the Torino scale, down from an earlier value of 4 (the highest ever assigned).
		Apophis was discovered in 2004 and is thought to measure between 320-400 meters in diameter.
		If those radio coordinates were to indicate that Apophis poses a threat to Earth in 2036, NASA could launch a second spacecraft to deflect the asteroid between 2024 and 2028.

	Apophis (Stargate) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Apophis eventually managed to lead a rebellion on Sokar's prison moon of Netu (on which SG-1 was also being held captive), during which he saved the life of Major Samantha Carter, only so he could torture her for information later.
		Apophis was thought to have perished along with Sokar, but in fact he had once again managed to escape at the last moment, this time by taking a Ring Transporter to Sokar's palace.
		Apophis attempted to seize SG-1's mothership with the aide of a captured and brainwashed Teal'c, but that ship was also taken over by the replicators, and Apophis could only watch helplessly as his remaining Jaffa were killed by the invading techno-bugs.

	99942 Apophis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Apophis is expected to come close enough that on April 13, 2029 (Friday the 13th) it will become as bright as magnitude 3.3 (easily visible to the naked eye).
		Apophis is the Greek name of the Ancient Egyptian god Apep, "the Destroyer", who dwells in the eternal darkness of the Duat (underworld) and tries to destroy the Sun during its nightly passage.
		Apophis was discovered on June 19, 2004, by Roy A. Tucker, David J. Tholen, and Fabrizio Bernardi of the NASA-funded University of Hawaii Asteroid Survey from Kitt Peak National Observatory in Arizona.

		Apophis is the name for an Earth-crossing (or Aten) asteroid that is due to come close to the Earth in 2029.
		This close approach was thought to result in orbital changes for Apophis, changes that may lead the asteroid to later collide with the Earth in 2036.
		Apophis was interesting in that it was the only body whose Torino rating actually increased as additional observations where made, making it more likely that the asteroid would crash into Earth.

		Such an impact by an asteroid estimated to be as large as 1300 feet across could devastate a large region and perhaps, depending on where it hit, cause millions of casualties and untold billions in property damage.
		But days after the initial discovery of the asteroid's trajectory, when astronomers found earlier, overlooked photos of the intruder in their archives and used them to refine estimates of its orbit, they were able to issue an all-clear.
		Apophis, it turns out, will come within as little as 15,000 miles from of Earth and will be visible to the naked eye in Europe and Africa on the evening of that April date, but will zoom safely past.

	Apophis, Destroyer :: a livingstonemusic.net/article ::
		Apophis was sometimes equated with Seth, the god of chaos, yet the nature of Apophis seems to have always been dark and threatening, while Seth could at times be beneficial.
		Apophis is usually depicted in funerary texts and other settings as a great serpent, sometimes with tightly compressed, spring-like coils to emphasize his vast size.
		However, the deceased also needed to be protected from Apophis, and there were references to seventy-seven papyri-rolls which are given to a dead person by means of a spell, containing formulas for bringing Apophis to his place of execution where he is cut up, crushed and consumed by fire.

		At the peak of concern, Apophis asteroid was placed at four out of 10 on the Torino scale - a measure of the threat posed by an NEO where 10 is a certain collision which could cause a global catastrophe.

		Apophis was at the rank of System Lord, he must have had more than 2 mother ships! Plus in Fair Game the Asgard said that the System Lords could attack us 100X more powerful so there were only a dozen at the rank of system lord therefore 2 X 100 = 200 Ships.
		Apophis probably did have other ships and other Jaffa, but they could have been spread out all over the place, leaving his forces towards this part of the galaxy, weakened.
		Apophis never expected to be lose to Earth and was unprepared for a full attack by the other system lords and as a result suffered heavy losses and was eventually defeated by Sokar.

	NASA NEO News: Deflection Scenarios for Apophis \| SpaceRef - Space News as it Happens
		Apophis will make fairly close passes by Earth (roughly 0.1 AU) in 2013 and 2021 that will allow accurate measurements of its orbit, and easier trajectories to it are available around those times.
		I further assume that the total uncertainty in the position of Apophis as it approaches Earth in 2029, as estimated in 2014, including both the unknown portion of the Yarkovsky effect and measurement errors, is 150 km to either side of a nominal position.
		If Apophis is deflected before 2029, the amount of deflection needed to prevent an Earth impact in 2036 or one of the nearby years is so small that it can be accomplished merely by hitting the asteroid with a spacecraft, provided that the influence of the Yarkovsky effect on Apophis can be approximately determined.

		Apophis is an approximately 400 meter near-Earth object (NEO), which will come closer to Earth in 2029 than the orbit of our geostationary satellites.
		While current estimates rate the probability of impact as very low, Apophis is being used as an example to enable design of a broader type of mission to any potentially dangerous asteroid.
		The competition design scenario asks participants to imagine that Earth-based observations of Apophis made over the coming years are not sufficient to know whether the asteroid will or will not pass through the 2029 keyhole, and that a better orbit determination is needed to know if a deflection mission is required.
